Work on a £50,000 BMX track will start this month.
Plans for the track at the play area in Charlotte Place, Kettering, have been approved by Kettering Council, with work due to start on October 21.

The track will be jointly funded by the council and the National Lottery.

It was initially due to open in May this year but when the plans were announced neighbours expressed concerns that the park would be a meeting ground for gangs, used by riders of illegal mini-moto bikes and there would be problems with an increase in anti-social behaviour.

After speaking to people living in the area, planners agreed to put police-approved deterrents on the nearby pumping station and install barriers to stop mini-motos being used on the site.

Carly Sampson, of Charlotte Place, said: “I think so long as it is managed correctly it will be a good place for people to go and hang out.

“I think there needs to be clear times when it is open and closed so there isn’t trouble like there was at the one on Ise Lodge.”

In addition to the BMX track, the works will include upgrades to the park including new benches, bins and bike racks.

The new park will be used as a base for the Kettering Play Rangers, who meet young people to get them engaged in their community and try to encourage them to make the most of outdoor facilities.

It is expected free BMX lessons will be held regularly at the park when it is up and running.

Ward councillor Paul Corazzo, said: “I’m so pleased that it is all going ahead after plenty of consultation and work between officers and the public.

“This will be a first class facility for younger residents using the track and those taking Bikeability courses.”

The track will be opened with a family fun day next year.

MIDDLEWICH police are urging mini-moto users to ‘be sensible’ after a spate of incidents over the last week.

PSCO Lorraine Meggs told the Guardian that she had received numerous reports of people riding the bikes on footpaths and not wearing helmets.

Incidents were reported in the Croxton Lane area, the towpath behind The Big Lock, The Moorings and Webb Lane.

“They should pack it in and be sensible,” said PSCO Meggs.

“People can be alarmed and distressed by antisocial behaviour like this. It’s an offence to ride on footpaths.

“We can give a warning or seize the bike.”
